| Blue Township to host open house
|
| |
|
|
| The Blue Township fire-rescue squad
will host an open house Sunday that will include a demonstration of
the jaws of life'' rescue tool. |
| Firefighters will also conduct a simulated search
and rescue'' through a tunnel of fire, and will present
junior firefighter activities designed to teach children a skill.
The events, scheduled from 1 to 5 p.m., are free and open to
the public and will be held at Station One at 3503 Scottie Lane, one
block south of U.S. 24, about two miles east of Manhattan.
The department is composed of about 20 volunteers.
As part of Sunday's event, the department will conduct
a chili feed in order to raise money for the purchase of new paging
equipment. Department wives and volunteers will serve chili
from 1 to 3 p.m. Tickets are $3.50 for adults and $2 for children.
Ticket stubs will also make purchasers eligible for door
prizes.
There's no use to have a volunteer if you can't get a message
to him or her where the fire is,'' said Eric Ward, chief of
the volunteer service, on the need for new pagers.
He characterized the event as an opportunity for people to
meet the volunteers that serve the township area, consisting of
approximately 55 square miles in size east and northeast of
Manhattan. |
